Gianluca Busio at Venezia

Is anyone else trying to watch with Paramount+? The video appears to be down. My 7 day free trial is off to a flying start.

 

I'm watching fine on my second monitor... just fyi

 

Busio! 1st Serie A Goal to tie it up

 

Classy!!

 

The club puts it in a pretty picture:

I saw it. I always wondered what would happen if there was a handball before the ball crossing the goal line. I guess it counts.

 

Seems like the ball already being in the net makes the advantage call pretty simple.

 

The ref makes a no call. The ref always has the option to overlook a foul and play advantage.

 

What if the official has world class reflexes from being a former player who wasn't quite good enough for other reasons so he became a ref instead?

 

still play the advantage.

 

Then he chokes on his whistle.

 

in other words, he played the advantage (for a split second)

 

Another really nice game from Busio, with a deserved goal to cap it off. I really like watching him play. In the first half he was playing deep, sometimes receiving the ball between the CBs. In the second half he was farther forward on the left side of midfield like we've grown accustomed to, presumably to have more of an impact in the final third.

 

The highest rated player on his team, in top 25% in Serie A so far. Way higher than Wes btw.

 

Good quick turn. Got lucky on the shot, but full credit to the young for just getting it off and seeing what happens.

Hope COVID rules allow him to celebrate tonight. He deserves it!

 

Ooohhh. just what we need a COVID superspreader celebration so he can miss the next 2-3 weeks of futbol.

And just like that Venice is rising... at least until Sunday!

 

Have to say that the goal they gave up was from Busio’s easy lose the ball.

 

bro so much other stuff had to go wrong for that goal to happen

is he never supposed to turn the ball over?

 

It was in the opponents box lol.

 

Yes, I wonder though if he still has the option of showing yellow or red to the defender in that circumstance. In this case, I could have seen a straight red- ball was going on goal and he stuck his arm out to block it, so DOGSO. In second half stoppage, who cares, but if this had been in first half, might have been a huge lucky break to give up a goal rather than a pk + be a man down.

 

In today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport:

Busio: 7 - His deadly error of youth led to Cagliari's opener. Then a magnificent second half in which he created constant confusion for the opponent, crowned with a goal. A 2002 with a great future. ​

They chose Johnsen as Venezia's best player, although he also received a 7, same as Busio.

 

Dennis johnsen sucks. He is fast but that’s literally it. He is one of Venezia’s main problems this year. He’s atrocious in the final third.
